Halo 3 Walkthrough and Strategy Wiki SuperGuide

Listed below are all of the vehicles from Halo 3. Some you can drive, some you can't. But it's good to have a general knowledge of what each one of them is capable of to help you finish the fight.

UNSC

Warthog

The Warthog now comes in three variants: (1) an armed hog with a mounted turret carrying up to three people, (2) a troop transport without mounted weapons, but carries six people, (3) an armed hog with a mounted guasse cannon turret carrying up to three people. The troop transport variant can only carry NPC passengers.

Mongoose

As the UNSC's infiltration vehicle, the Mongoose lacks weapons, but can carry two people, one of whom can shoot. The Mongoose, fast and nimble, is the ideal vehicle for shooting between positions.

Hornet

The Hornet is the UNSC's answer to the Covenant Banshee. It fires rockets and has a built in machine gun, capable of carrying two passengers on its sides.

Scorpion

The Scorpion tank is the human's heaviest machinery. It has one large cannon, capable of taking out even the toughest enemies, and can carry a compliment of five troops -- four passengers and one troop who operates the mounted machinegun. Note:only NPC passengers can ride on the side.

Pelican

Though you are never given the chance to use a Pelican, they are the backbone of the human vehicular armament. They are responsible for flying in the heaviest equipment and troops, as well as rescuing you from a hot landing zone.

Elephant

A slow moving mobile base with one hell of a horn, the Elephant is only available in multiplayer games in the map Sandtrap. The Elephant has two turrets -- the one on the side can be detached -- and a Mongoose in its lower bay. It is indestructable however the side turret is not.

COVENANT

Ghost

The Covenant's fast attack vehicle. The Ghost carries only one occupant, but it has high powered plasma cannons and the ability to "boost." Using either its plasma cannons or its boost ability, the Ghost is a powerful adversary.

Wraith

There are two Wraiths variations: (1) one made for antiair fire, and (2) the other built for offense, equipped with a high powered plasma explosive. Both should be approached cautiously, and used whenever possible. When fighting a Wraith with nothing but a gun go to the back and shoot the hole, it is the weak spot of the Wraith.

Prowler

The Brute version of a Warthog, the Prowler carries multiple passengers, is fairly fast, and has a mounted plasma turret. The plasma turret seems to be stronger than that of the Warthog, but the Prowler seems less maneuverable.

Chopper

The Brute Chopper carries only one passenger, but it makes it up with brute force (hah!). It can either shoot a pair of high powered cannons, or perform a "boost" similar to a Ghost for a powerful kill. It is effective against both vehicles and troops because when you use the "boost" you can tear right through light vehicles , but it is not as maneuverable as the Ghost.

Shade Turret

The Shade Turret isn't portable, but what it lacks in portability it makes up in power. If you see a Shade Turret, it's best to take it out from afar, with a sniper rifle.

Phantom

The Covenant Phantom is the Covenant's answer to the Pelican. Equipped with large plasma turrets, the Phantom is a fast-insertion vehicle, allowing the Covenant to drop multiple ground troops into a zone. Destroyed only by heavy armaments. you can ride in them

Banshee

The Banshee is the Covenant fighter. It is equipped with plasma cannons and a Fuel Rod Gun. It is higly maneuvarable, can gain speed rapidly, and can kill both ground troops and vehicles effectively.

Scarab

Though you never get the chance to operate a Scarab, you'll tackle them during Halo 3's single-player campaign. They have several turrets mounted on their sides, a large swiveling turret on top, and a main gun that shoots out of the "face" of the vehicle. Drive around them at high speeds and shoot out their leg joints, then blow their cores or if your are in a hornet or have a rocket weapon(fuel rod cannon,rocket launcher, laser) you can shoot the blue light on the back of the scarab to get a visual on the battery for a perfect blam
